The Original Surface Weapon for Serious Saltwater Anglers
Built to thrive in extreme saltwater environments, the Malosi Chieftain 180F is the original Malosi design – a floating stickbait purpose-built for topwater predators like GTs, tuna, and kingfish. Its unique flat-surface resting position and custom-cut mouth deliver a seductive, wide S-swim that triggers aggressive strikes, even in rough conditions or from high platforms.
Handmade from solid Paulownia wood and sealed in a tough resin shell, the Chieftain features a 2mm stainless steel through-wire and ten layers of polyurethane for maximum durability. Whether you rig it with trebles, singles, or a combination, it maintains its action and balance – ready for serious surface action.
